Bacup and restore comand on terminal

how can I recover from the terminal the restore of the created bacup or via the web interface

ssh into your box and type in the following commands:

cd /
tar xpf [path-to-your-tar-file]

You should replace the path, of course (without the brackets).

And for make the backup on command line?

Something like this?

cd /media/backup #(or wherever the destination backup .tar will reside)
tar cpf $(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S).tar /storage
